They moved the bed into the cave together. Li Qingling placed the mat on top of the bed and laid down for a bit. She felt that it wasn't bad, and said, "Come, lie down and feel it." She pulled Liu Zhirou, letting her have a try at how she felt.

Liu Zhirou smiled as she laid down, and even rolled over a few times. She felt that it was more comfortable than last night's sleep, so she agreed with a grin.

Seeing that she liked it, Li Qingling reached out and pinched her little cheek: "It's good as long as you like it." She got up, rubbed her sore wrists, and prepared to cook.

Seeing her rubbing his hands, Liu Zhimo felt pained, "It's good that I'm here, go rest!" He really wished that he could help her a little more, and not lean on her at all times.

Glancing at him, Li Qingling shook her head, "Let's go together, it's faster this way." She saw that he wanted to open his mouth to refute her, so she quickly added, "Eat early and sleep early. I'm really tired." She knew that he did feel sorry for her, but she also felt sorry for him!

He was also extremely tired today.

Liu Zhimo pursed his lips, nodded his head, and took the water bucket out, he planned to go to the riverside to get some water to boil some chicken soup for her to drink.

"Tiger, follow Zhi Moge." Li Qingling patted Tiger's head and told him to protect Liu Zhimo.

Now that the sky was getting dark, she was afraid that some large wild beast would appear. With Tiger, she would feel more at ease.

Tiger nudged her waist, stood up, and followed her out happily.

Liu Zhimo brought Ah Huang to the river side, filled two buckets of water and returned with it.

Just as he walked far, Tiger ran in front of him and shouted loudly.

He looked into the dark, shining eyes and his heart skipped a beat. What was this? A wolf?

He swallowed and looked around to see where he could escape to.

The thing paced slowly towards him. Tiger called out again and went up to meet him.

Taking the chance, Liu Zhimo put down the water bucket, looked in a direction, and ran.

He could not stay there and drag Tiger behind him. Once Tiger ran away, he would be able to escape even if Tiger could not beat him.

Liu Zhimo's heart skipped a beat, he clenched his fists and ran. Luckily, in order to cut down the wood, he had wandered around, and was very familiar with the place, allowing him to not run around without thinking.

Running around in the forest at night was a very dangerous thing to do.

Just as he was running near the cave, he met Li Qingling who was carrying a bow and arrow on her back, and his footsteps slowed down.

"What happened?" Seeing Liu Zhimo whose face was pale and forehead was drenched in sweat, Li Qingling's heart skipped a beat as she asked him nervously.

She had heard the tiger's roar in the cave. It sounded like Tiger's Roar, and she was worried. She ran out to look for them.

After heavily gasping for breath a few times, Liu Zhimo stammered, "I didn't see clearly what happened. After Tiger tripped it, I ran back." I wonder if Tiger is alright?

Hearing this, Li Qingling's back was about to be drenched in cold sweat. She extended her hand and grabbed onto Liu Zhimo's hand. This place was too dangerous. She did not know what else would come out, so she decided to return to the cave first.

Liu Zhimo acknowledged his presence, and followed her back to the cave weakly. The moment he returned to the cave, he collapsed onto the ground with no strength left in his body.

He felt a lingering fear in his heart. If not for Tiger following him, he would have been eaten by now.

In this forest deep in the mountains, for the sake of safety, it was better not to go out when it was dark. It was too dangerous.

"Big Brother, are you alright?" It was the first time Liu Zhiyan had seen Liu Zhimo like this, and he worriedly walked over and asked.

Li Qingling poured a bowl of boiled water that was used for daytime for Liu Zhimo and passed it to him for him to drink.

Liu Zhimo also felt that his throat was so dry that it could start a fire, he took it and finished it in a few moments.

After drinking the water, he finally felt alive, and looked towards Liu Zhiyan who was worriedly looking at him. He pursed his lips and laughed, saying that he was fine.

If he showed fear, he would frighten the children, so he could not show it.

After looking carefully at Liu Zhimo's expression and seeing that he was fine, Liu Zhiyan heaved a sigh of relief.

"Big Brother, did you encounter something?" Otherwise, why would he return with such a terrible expression?

Liu Zhimo swept his gaze across and saw that all of the children were staring at him. He cleared his throat and then said: "I ran into a snake. He did not dare to tell the truth, for fear of scaring the children, "It's too dangerous to not go out in the dark in the future, understand?" He was afraid that the children would not listen and would secretly run out at night. If they encountered any wild beasts, then it would truly be miserable.

The children nodded their heads, solemnly stating that they would not go out.

This place wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves at night. It was so scary, how could they have the guts to go out?

Li Qingling stood in the cave for a long time. Seeing that Ah Huang had not come back yet, she started to worry.

Was Tiger unable to defeat that unknown wild beast? Could he be injured?

Thinking of this, she became anxious. No way, she had to go take a look.

If she didn't go and take a look, she wouldn't be able to rest at ease.

Tiger was a family member in her heart, she didn't want anything to happen to him.

"Xiao Ling, where are you going?" Liu Zhimo saw Li Qingling holding onto a bow and arrow, walking out immediately, so he quickly called out to her.

Li Qingling's footsteps paused, she turned and looked straight into Ah Huang's eyes, and said after a moment: "I want to go see Ah Huang, I don't know … …"

Before she could even finish his words, Liu Zhimo interrupted her, "Do you want to die?" His expression was very serious, although Li Qingling's archery skills were not bad, but it was very dangerous at night, and he could not be at ease with her going, "I know you are worried about Ah Huang, and I am also worried, but I still do not want you to go." In his heart, Li Qingling was more important than Tiger.

Besides, Tiger might not get into trouble.

Li Qingling shook her lower lip, her hand tightly holding onto the bow and arrow, and after a long while, she lowered her head, put down the bow and arrow, and sat down.

After taking in a deep breath, Liu Zhimo stood up, walked to Li Qingling's side, and held her somewhat ice-cold hand as he said softly, "Have you thought about it? What if something happens to you? " He really couldn't imagine losing her.

Feeling his faintly trembling hands, Li Qingling knew that she had been a little rash just now. She sighed, leaned on his chest, and apologized.

Liu Zhimo softly stroked her hair and said in a low voice, You should believe in Tiger.

These words were meant to comfort her, but also to comfort himself.

"Hmm …" Li Qingling replied softly. Ah Huang was raised by her, her intelligence was not bad, and would definitely be fine.

From their big brother and big sister's expressions, they could tell that their brother had just been lying. He probably did not meet a snake, but rather, he met something even more terrifying, and it was Tiger who had blocked their big brother's escape.

Both of them quivered simultaneously and rubbed the goosebumps on their arms.

"Hungry …" Liu Zhirou rubbed her stomach, pouted, and whined, "Little sister is also hungry, she has already eaten her fingers." As she said that, she pointed at Li Qingning who was biting her finger.

Hearing his sister say that he was hungry, Li Qingfeng and Liu Zhiyan stood up, holding a pot as they prepared to cook.

Li Qingling also straightened her body, and wanted to help.

"Elder sister, just sit down. We'll be fine." Seeing Li Qingling's actions, Li Qingfeng spoke out, "Zhi Moge is the same, you accompany big sister and I can talk to her."

Fortunately, there was a pot of boiling water during the day, so he could use the boiling water to boil some porridge to drink.

Seeing the two busy children, Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo looked at each other and smiled. They sat on the spot and did not go to help.

Li Qingfeng and Yue Yang worked together and made a pot of chicken porridge.

When he lifted the lid of the pot, the entire cave was filled with fragrance. Li Qingfeng stirred the pot with his spoon and placed it on the side to dry.

Looking at Li Qingning who was anxiously crawling over, he walked over and picked her up, "It's still hot, eat later!" He took out a handkerchief and wiped her sister's mouth.

Li Qingning understood and she sat obediently in Li Qingfeng's embrace, her eyes staring straight at the chicken porridge, drool unknowingly flowing out of her mouth once more.

"Greedy Cat." Li Qingfeng tapped Li Qingning's small nose. He was afraid that he would really starve his sister to death, so he grabbed a bowl of porridge, scooped a bit with his spoon and blew on it to cool her down.

Li Qingning was really hungry, she anxiously opened her small mouth to eat, Li Qingfeng was afraid that she would choke on it, so she comforted her, instead, there was food for her to eat.

When Liu Zhirou saw that her sister had already eaten, she also mumbled that she wanted to eat it.

Liu Zhiyan had no choice but to take a bowl of porridge and feed it to her.

When the porridge was more or less cold, Li Qingfeng called Liu Zhimo and Li Qingling over to have some porridge.

"Here, eat something first!" Liu Zhimo stood up, extended his hand towards Li Qingling, and was about to pull her up. Li Qingling acknowledged her as she placed his hand on the middle of his palm, allowing him to pull her up.

"Elder sister, quickly try out our culinary skills." Seeing Li Qingling's low mood, Li Qingfeng intentionally smiled, "Let's see if our culinary skills have improved."

Li Qingling knew that these children were worried about her, so she revealed a smile on her face. She picked up a bowl of chicken porridge and drank a mouthful, nodding and saying, "Not bad, your culinary skills have improved a lot."

Hearing Li Qingling's affirmation, Li Qingfeng and Liu Zhiyan both started laughing happily.

Although their culinary skills could not compare to Li Qingling's, it was still much better than what they had done in the past.

"Keep up the good work." Seeing them so happy, Li Qingling encouraged them.

Li Qingfeng and Liu Zhiyan said in unison, "Alright …" Just as they finished speaking, the sound of a tiger's roar came from outside.
